The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance the compensation awarded under the Motor Vehicles Act, specifically under Section 173. The Court emphasized that the multiplier method must be applied for calculating compensation rather than a lump-sum amount, ensuring that all heads of loss, including future income and permanent disability, are adequately compensated. The final compensation was set at Rs. 14,65,500 with interest at 9% per annum from the date of application until realization.
